My Soundtrack

For years I've joked that precious memory space in my brain has been taken up with song lyrics...many of these songs are inextricably (I would never actually speak that word in real life; it's funny how it just pops out like nothing else while I'm typing...) linked to memories of important events/times in my life. So in place of a journal (which I have been shamefully bad at keeping) I decided to compile the "soundtrack" of my life. It's a slightly self-indulgent and rather cryptic way to be self-revealing, but I've gotta start somewhere, right?

If you haven't heard some of these songs, give them a listen. I think they're great. And if you were a part of any of these memories, thanks.
